Trastevere & Gianicolo
Ma Che Siete Venuti a Fà
(Via Benedetta 25; 11am-2am; Piazza Trilussa)
This pint-sized pub - whose name, a foot-
ball chant, translates politely as 'What did you come here for?'- is a beer-buff's paradise,
packing a huge number of on-tap craft beers and obscure bottled tipples into its tiny interi-
or.

( 06 589 56 78; Piazza San Calisto 3-5; 6am-2am Mon-Sat; Viale di Trastevere, Viale di
Trastevere)
Those in the know head to the down-at-heel 'Sanca' for its basic, stuck-in-time
atmosphere and cheap prices. It attracts everyone from drug dealers, intellectuals and
pseudo-intellectuals to keeping-it-real Romans, alcoholics and American students. It's
famous for its chocolate - drunk hot with cream in winter, eaten as ice cream in summer.
Freni e Frizioni

;
Via del Politeama 4-6; 6.30pm-2am; Piazza Trilussa)
The hipsters favourite cool Trastevere bar, this was a garage in a former life, hence its
name ('brakes and clutches'). The arty crowd flocks here to slurp well-priced drinks (es-
pecially mojitos), feast on the good-value
aperitivo
(7pm to 10pm) and spill into the
piazza out the front.
